    • PICS Colloquium: “Modeling and simulations of protein conformational changes and virus entry”

    /
    Zoom - email kathom@seas.upenn.edu

    Abstract: Virus infections remain major threats to human health worldwide. Viruses are intracellular parasites, and must enter host cells and deliver their genetic material to initiate infection. Virus entry is a highly complex process that may involve hundreds of trans-membrane and peripheral membrane proteins. This highly complex process is dictated by various events, such as […]

    ESE Thesis Defense: “A Microwell-Based Impedance Sensor in Microneedle Shape for Cytokine Detection”

    /
    Zoom - email naixins@seas.upenn.edu for link

    Monitoring cytokine profiles plays a crucial role in predictive and early disease diagnosis, as well as in research in many biological fields, thus multiple approaches have been investigated. Despite the promise of these techniques, many still require specialized instrumentation or have not been shown in real-time applications, impeding their clinical adoption as point-of-care systems. Impedance-based […]

    CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | A Scalable, Point-of-Care Microfluidic Approach for Assessing Thrombosis and Hemostasis

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract:  Coagulation testing is an important diagnostic tool for the detection of excessive bleeding risk or obstructive clot formation (thrombosis), using blood samples from patients. Microfluidic flow devices have been well established to provide insights on the impacts of shear rate, drug action, and disease state on coagulation and platelet biology. The bulk of the […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Micromechanics of Near-ideal Polymer Networks”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Understanding the relationships between the structure of polymer networks and their mechanical properties remains a long-standing challenge in polymer physics. In recent years, a new paradigm for network formation has emerged, whereby near-ideal hydrogels are produced by the cross-coupling of branched macromolecules with well-defined chain length. Such near-ideal networks constitute an excellent model system to […]

    ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Cryptographic Foundations for Control and Optimization”

    /
    Zoom - email aandreea@seas.upenn.edu for link

    Abstract: Advances in communication technologies and computational power have determined a technological shift in the data paradigm. The resulting architecture requires sensors to send local data to the cloud for global processing such as estimation, control, decision and learning, leading to both performance improvement and privacy concerns. This thesis explores the emerging field of private […]

    MSE Seminar: “Atomic-scale Insights into Electrocatalyst Structure and Function”

    /

    The development of efficient renewable energy conversion and storage devices is one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. Fuel cell catalysis, CO2 reduction, etc. are interesting reactions that can transform our energy economy; however, many of these reactions are sluggish from unfavorable reaction kinetics and poor product selectivity. These renewable energy technologies […]
